One possibility is an erroneous indication of CPU overheat. If you know how and your BIOS provides the means to do so, you can underclock your system by about 25% to see if the problem stops. If it does, you'll have to troubleshoot the cause of the erroneous indication. IIRC, it is caused by two daemons both trying to monitor CPU temp at the same time. Another possibility is TV card related. TV cards seem to demand a lot of power, maybe more than your power supply can reliably provide. You can temporarily remove the card to see if this is your problem. -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
